Probably Unanswerable Questions

Smales carried more clubs; Michael O'Keefe is a legend among actor-athletes

In the discussion (8)
Approx. transcript time · 01:27:50Read transcript
  • Who carried more clubs, Smales or Al? Both had two putters and were over the limit; Smales, who thinks he needs every wood, despite the size of Al's bag.
  • Greatest sports-movie putt: Happy Gilmore or Danny winning the caddy tournament amid "Noonan" taunts on a bumpy green, called incredible; a preference for the final-hole sequence in Tin Cup is also voiced.
  • Did the movie create the word "Poon Tang"? Unknown, with a case that it did; an Apex Mountain joke about it is spared.
  • What happened to Rodney Dangerfield after Caddyshack and Back to School? Ladybugs, which was in HBO rotation with Vanessa Shaw called the Cindy Morgan of a generation, plus Rover Dangerfield.
  • Is it better if the gopher is in Maggie's car when Carl blows it up? Blowing up Maggie is not supported; the compromise is she returns in a sling.
  • Where does Michael O'Keefe rank among actor-athletes? Legend, with a great swing and a run of The Great Santini, Caddyshack, Split Image and The Slugger's Wife; he should have been in Tin Cup.
  • Do they still sell Baby Ruth bars? It was Nestle for a time, and many bars of that era faded; one participant is not a chocolate fan.
  • Why was there never a Caddyshack video game, such as Golden Tee or PGA Tour 93, with Noonan, Denunzio, Smales, Ty or Lou as playable characters?
